Treat them as junk. Tell your email to Treat them as junk.
Eventually they will start to move away from your inbox and be moved to junk.

Apart from changing your email address there's not much you can do.

Hi @vanitaM  It depends to a degree on the email app but other than spam filters limitations other than possibly some premium services.    Some information in this thread https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/mobile-apps-services/spam-emails/ 

I do not work for Samsung or make Samsung Products but provide independent advice and valuable contributions.

If you are able to set filter rules, first make a note of the usernames and domain names, for example:

Username@domainname.com

If you see that the same name and domain are feeding junk, block the full sender address (as above), but if you are seeing different usernames but a common domain address, set the rule such that anything from the same domain gets filtered out. If you get emails from friends that use the same domain (@outlook.com for example), set up a separate rule that allows your friend to go straight to your inbox, and others go to junk. A further example of what I mean...

Jennysmith@outlook.com (your friend), goes to your inbox.

Lotsofjunkandspam@outlook.com as the name suggests, goes straight to your junk mail folder.

Even better - if your email provider is able to block junk before it hits your email folders, then use that instead. The rule would be something like:

If message contains (@spamalot.com), then do not deliver.

If message contains (jennysmith@outlook.com), then deliver to INBOX.

If message contains (something you might be interested in, such as fashion, cosmetics, hobbies, etc), then deliver to JUNK folder.

I hope you understand this post. If unclear, just ask. 😊

No one just starts getting 100s of spam mails, did you sign up to something recently? Promotion list of sorts?

Also when you say email, what kind of mail are we talking about Gmail? Outlook.com?or broadband provider? BT?

Are you using a email client or web mail or app?

If it Outlook.com they recently had a blip that allowed spam through

What I do is I have two Gmail account one for email used for friends and family and other for when you sign up for things, that one is the disposable one that you don't care losing

If you use major email providers like Gmail and when Outlook.com isn't having issues they clear alot of them up before you get them
